    The UI of the Homekit app needs to show up on the Apple TV for it to be a real home hub. It has limited options in control centre and only seems to function for cameras and automations. I'd like to see all my accessories listed and my rooms. That way I could turn on and off lights in any room etc.

    Does the Apple TV has to be on always to be a home hub or just needs to be plugged in to power

    🤔It appears that my Apple TV is my hub but I didn’t get that “Home” icon when I opened the Control Center menu.🤷‍♂️

    Does the apple tv work as a hub even if it's turned off? Or does it need to be on at all times?

      It’s on pause mode even if it is turn off. So, yes, it does work

    Besides using a apple tv as a home hub do you use a different hub like scriped or HOOBs or even homey pro

    Can you still use it and set everything up with a non-apple phone? Does this just add steps? Do you lose functionality if your phone is non-apple?

    So correct me if I'm wrong: I cannot use Homekit (and share it with my wife when we're at home) without a hub, right? I just want to remote a couple of plugs, it's a bit overkill to have to add an Apple TV just for that...

    My problem in using an Apple TV, as hub, is that I don't turn my television on, because I don't watch live TV . This is because I do not have a TV licence ( required, here, in England ). So I currently use a mini Apple HomePod that is permanently live, in my office. I also have 3 first generation large HomePods and another mini HomePod installed . So I have speakers in 4 rooms as my initial HomeKit devices.
    You said that your doorbell camera will pop on your TV screen , when you are watching a program. That's fine. But if you have your TV turned off, The Apple TV mk4 will just act like my mini HomePod. won't it ?

    What version of Apple TV do you need? We have an older Apple TV (not 4K) and wonder if it will work? I’m assuming the older Apple TV doesn’t have Thread capabilities, how important is that? Thanks In advance for answering my questions.
